Structural Influences on Methamphetamine Use Among Black Sexual Minority Men (HISTORY Study): Protocol for a Longitudinal Cohort Study.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSexual minority men are disproportionately affected by methamphetamine use, with recent studies suggesting an increase in use specifically among Black sexual minority men. Black sexual minority men face unique structural barriers to achieving optimal health. Given its harmful effects, and in light of existing health disparities, an increase in methamphetamine use among Black sexual minority men poses a significant public health concern.
objectiveThe Health Impacts and Struggles to Overcome the Racial Discrimination of Yesterday (HISTORY) study is investigating the potential impacts of exposure to the census tract-level structural racism and discrimination (SRD) on methamphetamine use among Black sexual minority men in Atlanta, Georgia, and will identify intervention targets to improve prevention and treatment of methamphetamine use in this population.
methodsThis study uses a mixed methods and multilevel design over a 5-year period and incorporates participatory approaches. Individual-level quantitative data will be collected from a community-based cohort of Black sexual minority men (N=300) via periodic assessment surveys, ecological momentary assessments, and medical record abstractions. Census tract-level measures of SRD will be constructed using publicly available administrative data. Qualitative data collection will include longitudinal, repeated in-depth interviews with a subset (n=40) of study participants. Finally, using a participatory group model-building process, we will build on our qualitative and quantitative data to generate causal maps of SRD and methamphetamine use among Black sexual minority men, which in turn will be translated into actionable recommendations for structural intervention.
resultsEnrollment in the HISTORY study commenced in March 2023 and is anticipated to be completed by November 2024.
conclusionsThe HISTORY study will serve as a crucial background upon which future structural interventions can be built, to mitigate the effects of methamphetamine use and SRD among Black sexual minority men. INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT IDENTIFIER (IRRID): DERR1-10.2196/63761.
